It’s the time of the year when you want to take some time off. Working hard throughout the year can get the best of you, and a well-deserved vacation may just be your only way to escape insanity. But as much as you want to spend a fortune on the vacation of your dreams, the truth is you don’t have that fortune and even if you do you know it’s not worth spending them all on your holiday getaways. After all, you still have a life to live after your vacation. Thankfully there are travel destinations out there which won’t break the bank.
Gothenburg, Sweden
If you’re heading to Sweden and you can’t afford to go to Scandinavia, then Gothenburg will be your most savvy option. It’s the country’s second largest city and the world’s 12th most inventive city, according to Forbes. Among its great attractions are the beautiful picnic-friendly Keillers Park and the indie-style café known as Röda Sten. Because this city is home to a lot of students, city life is affordable characterized by cheap eats, plenty of museums, a large amusement park, and lots of open green spaces.
Cambodia
For those travelling on a budget, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap where mid-range hotels abound are great destinations. Budget accommodations are also available for those seeking for cheaper options. Angkor known for its temples is one of the most visited tourist spots in the country. Located in the middle of a thick rainforest and rice paddies, Angkor Wat is believed to be the mother of all temples and the world’s largest religious building. Beach lovers frequent the south cast because of its picturesque tropical islands.
Bolivia
Situated in South America, Bolivia is the most ethnic and good-for-the-money destination. The crafts markets are unbelievably attractive and affordable. Best-value excursions and world-class trekking are available for the more adventurous tourists. Meals are very reasonably priced; often they won’t cost you over $5. High-end accommodations are even cheaper when compared with other tourist destinations.
Nepal
Visiting Nepal will surely break your monotonous lifestyle but not your wallet. With a very little investment, you’re in for a great surprise. Go for something as adventurous as Himalayan hiking. Prices aren’t an issue whether you travel independently or you take an organized tour. The south is bursting with wild national parks where you can treat yourself with an elephant ride while hunting for tigers and rhinos.
Slovenia
You don’t have to be rich to visit picture-perfect spots like Austria, Italy or Switzerland. Slovenia is equally attractive but it is a much affordable way to enjoy the holidays. Most tourists enjoy trekking, skiing and rafting in Slovenia, which is in fact one of the most beautiful countries in Europe. The country has maintained the sophistication for which Europe is known for, while preserving her rustic charm.
